bed hooks
dont know the proper term for them
but wanted to know how much weight are they rated for?
im refering to the in bed tie down points
im planning on hauling two bikes to the gap NC/TN border this coming season. i dont really want to pull a trailer so im putting both bikes on the back
bikes are roughly 400 lbs each
and both will have four straps
to somewhat distribute the load

Re: bed hooks
You should have no problem with the strengh of the hooks as you are just putting enough pressure on them to compress the bikes suspension a bit so it stays in place.
I've seen Ranger with two bike many times. It's a bit tight but works... the biggest problem is the tie down between the two bikes. I'd suggest adding a hook in the middle of the bed.
